RHS 100x60x1.5 Hiasa · Weight & Dimensions

Hiasa, cold-formed sections · Rectangular Hollow Section

Rectangular Hollow Sections (RHS) are tubular profiles with excellent torsional resistance and aesthetic appeal. Used for columns, trusses, and exposed structural elements.

Also known as: PTR 100x60 cal 16 (México) · Caño estructural 100x60 (Argentina)

The RHS 100x60x1.5 steel profile weighs 3.6 kg/m (2.45 lb/ft), has a depth of 100 mm (3.94 in), flange width 60 mm (2.36 in). Cross-sectional area: 465.206 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 65.048 cm⁴, Iy = 29.791 cm⁴.
